新华社记者:近日美方关闭中国驻休斯敦总领馆,声称总领馆是中方间谍和盗窃知识产权的枢纽,中方已做出对等反制,关闭美驻成都总领馆。你是否担心中美“外交战”轮番升级?
Xinhua: The US recently closed the Chinese Consulate-General in Houston, claiming that it was a hub of spying and intellectual property theft. China made a reciprocal response by closing the US Consulate-General in Chengdu. Are you concerned that this will lead to escalation in a China-US "diplomatic war"?
王毅:中国驻休斯敦总领馆是中美建交之后中方在美国开设的第一个总领馆,一直都是中美友好的重要象征。40多年来,驻休斯敦总领馆为促进两国人民的友谊与合作发挥了重要作用,即使在疫情期间,也积极主动克服困难,为美国南部地区与中国开展抗疫合作搭建了重要桥梁。关闭这样一个具有重要历史和现实意义的总领馆,就相当于关闭了一扇中美两国人民相互沟通了解的窗口,对中美关系的正常发展和民间友好都造成了损害。而且美方所罗列的所有理由都是欲加之罪,信口雌黄,没有一条能拿得出证据,经得起检验。
Wang Yi: The Chinese Consulate-General in Houston was the first Consulate-General opened by China in the US after the establishment of the diplomatic ties, and it was always an important symbol of China-US friendship. Over the past 40 plus years, the Chinese Consulate-General in Houston played a significant role in promoting friendship and cooperation between the Chinese and American peoples. Despite the difficulties encountered during the COVID-19 epidemic, it served as a crucial bridge for boosting cooperation against coronavirus between the US southern states and China. Closing such a consulate-general that bears both historical and current significance is closing a window for exchange and mutual understanding between the Chinese and Americans. This move has undermined the normal growth of China-US relations and the friendship between the two peoples. All the excuses for closure claimed by the US side are nothing but fabrications designed to slander China. None of them is backed by any evidence, and none of them can stand up to scrutiny.
